Overview

The Economic and Financial Research programme from Maastricht University is a high-level programme designed for bachelor graduates who wish to further challenge themselves. A limited number of students attend the Research Master in Economic and Financial Research which makes participating a unique experience.

Our best researchers and (inter-)national experts are involved in the coordination and education of the courses.
